In my world, weekdays are for work, weeknights are for home, Saturdays are for adventure and Sunday is for home. I find this a nice balance and one where I get a powerful mix of rest and chores at home with something fun to do on the weekend.

That has not been the mix lately. Last week left me so busy and sick of the world that I actually took a nap on Friday after work. A nap!

This is not who I am.

So yesterday, after lecturing all do you dear readers about the importance of getting out in the world for adventures, I did the unexpected.

I stayed home.

It was nice to sleep in, rest the knee, fix a good dinner, do a few chores, and finish the book I was reading. I even had two meals on the porch! All the same, I was super annoyed to squander what was a great road trip day.

Oh, the fun I could have had!

I’ve been jonesing for a trip to the big antique mall at Springfield and a morning roaming around Yellow Springs. A day roaming downtown Marietta is always fun and a boxed lunch on the Valley Gem would be delightful. I’ve been wanting to visit Hawthorne Hill in Dayton. That was the home of Orville Wright and it’s open for tours. It was a little warm for a hike but I could have managed.

I’m still babying the knee a little so rest is good but a gal can dream.

Sigh.

The good news is that I got some rest and saved my money for adventures ahead. There’s fun on the calendar next weekend and I have plans for my annual October vacation. I’ll need my energy and money for all of that!

How did you spend your Saturday?
